Solar panels in Alcaucín
Alcaucín sits on the slope of the Sierra Tejeda, looking over the Axarquía and the Boquete de Zafarraya, and part of the municipality lies within the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park. More than half of its foreign residents are British, and many live in country houses spread across its 8 settlements and the countryside. These are homes where solar energy, often with a battery, makes complete sense.
On isolated houses we look at the roof or ground mounting, the well, irrigation and pool loads, and how reliable the grid supply is. If there are power cuts, we propose a battery with backup output for essential circuits. In the village we check the roof and how the panels will look.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
